if you lower the attaching point you wouldn't need a bend

The bend is to clear my factory door handles, so to miss those it would have been at the bottom of my elbow.

that seat sets up pretty high. if you are going to X brace make sure the other bar is low. with a removable steering wheel you should be good.

My 8.50 cage had some bends in it. It was built a long time ago though.

Looks great so far Chad! That's gonna be a great car. Keep your eyes peeled for a stroker kit, my Duster motor is street only, but it's 500" just because I found someone selling a complete stroker kit brand new for $1500, it had an Eagle crank, Eagle Rods, JE flat top pistons. I used my stock main caps with a 440Source main girdle. I wanted alot of torque so I could run a tight converter and 3.55 gears.

It's a Jegs sportsman seat, surprisingly comfortable and they were $120 a piece. I'm not sure if it gives measurements or not on the site but I'll be back out there Saturday and let ya know.

Yes it is, but that's as low as we could get it. The frame rail is about 3/16away from the handle underneath the seat to slide it back and forth. Just thick bottoms, wanted kirkey seats but I won't have that much in the motor lol

No I kinda retired from racing, might get back into it when my son is done with schooling and travel sports. My Duster is almost done, already drove it several times. Just a 600HP street cruiser with no cage or tubs, pump gas with comfy seats lol.
